Magenta Abstract Nails

Hello Everyone,

Who likes abstract nail designs?  Raises hand I do.  I have on abstract nails today, my base color is OPI You Only Live Twice from the OPI Skyfall Bond 007 Collection.  I'm really enjoying this collection as you have noticed I featured a few of them this week with nail art.


                                             OPI You Only Live Twice

I'm loving this pink magenta shimmer polish it makes me think of raspberries.  I striped on lines in black and white on the corners using It's so easy stripe rite pens.

 

 

 

I hope you like it as much as I do.  Have a great weekend.

 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

OPI GoldenEye With A Design

Hello Everyone,

There have been a couple of golds that I really like this year and one of them is GoldenEye from the OPI Skyfall Bond 007 Collection.  Most times I'm not drawn to gold polish because they are too close to my skintone making them look blah on me.   Oh, but GoldenEye works for me.


                                       OPI GoldenEye

GoldenEye is liquid gold in a bottle that shines.   On my middle finger I added on some black dots and on some of the dots I added GoldenEye in the middle of them.  I like the contrast it's an eye catcher.

 

Do you have a favorite gold polish you like to wear?

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Look Book: OPI Die Another Day, Tribal Nail Art Design

I can't believe I'm wearing another red two days in a row how about that.  I'm loving the reds in the OPI Skyfall Collection.  They are so rich and fabulous.  Here is a simple tribal nail art design.

OPI Die Another Day is such a pretty red shimmer.  It looks great paired with black and white.  I used It's So Easy Stripe Rite striper pens.

 

 

  Tribal designs are so fun to do I really need to take my time and do a more intricate one.  

 

 

Do you like Tribal nail art?

 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

A Quick Nail Art Design

Have you every been in the middle of doing a nail design and got called right away to do something quick?  Well, it  happened to me while doing this nail art.  Hubby needed me right away.  I hurried and took a quick picture before I took off. Lol! 

 

The pretty red with gold glitter is OPI The Spy Who Loved Me from the 2012 Skyfall Collection.  For my index finger I applied OPI The Gift Of Gold from the 2010 Ulta Exclusive Collection.  It's a glitter bomb that consist of gold and red glitter.  I used the brush and formed a "V" shape.  Then I used a striper polish in black and outlined the "V" shape.  That's as far as I got.  I think it's still cute on one finger.

 

  Now imagine my nails still wet what they looked like after I was done helping hubby. A messed up nail design. Lol! I'll be doing this again and hopefully with no disturbance.

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

OPI Skyfall Bond 007 Collection, Swatches and Review

I'm excited to share with you the OPI Skyfall Collection inspired by 007 James Bond.  

OPI celebrates the 50th Anniversary of a fellow world icon – James Bond – appearing in Skyfall. Starring Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem, this highly-anticipated twenty-third installment opens in theaters nationwide on November 9, 2012.

See swatches after the jump...

 

 

OPI Moonraker 

Moonraker is a silver blue frost metallic.  The formula is weird giving me streaks and bald spots. Even though the formula was hard to work with, I do love the color  (I'm not giving up on it just yet) it  might work for stamping nail designs. Applied 2 coats.

 

 

OPI The Living Daylights

The Living Daylights is a teal, silver, copper glitter in a clear base.  It's a great combo of colors.  I think it looks fabulous over Moonraker.  I tried polishing it on but no, no it works better by dabbing it on.  

 

 

OPI GoldenEye

GoldenEye is a dark glittery gold. It's so sparkly! The formula is watery but it builds up nicely with 3 coats. 

 

 

OPI The World Is Not Enough

The World Is Not Enough is a smokey silver and pink shimmer.  It looks way better in real life and it's totally unique and beautiful.  The formula is thin therefore I needed 3 coats for opacity.

 

 

OPI On Her Majesty's Secret Service

On Her Majesty's Secret Service a gunmetal silvery blue with green, blue, pink and gold shimmer.  Another unique shade in the collection.  Formula is on the thin side needing 3 coats for opacity. 

 

 

OPI Live And Let Die

Live And Let Die, Look at this! I can't stand it I'm in love with this polish.  It's a deep dark green and gold shimmer.  The formula is AmaaaZing! And it's a ONE COATER! (It's going in my one coater drawer) It's so dreamy.

 

 

OPI Skyfall

Skyfall, a dark maroon creme or could be an oxblood red. Ding, ding, ding another winner for me.  I know most don't like these types of colors but I love wearing them during the fall/winter months.  Great formula with smooth application only needing 2 coats.

 

 

OPI Casino Royale 

Casino Royale, a deep purple plum creme another great fall color I like to wear.  Great formula used 2 coats.

 

 

OPI The Spy Who Loved Me

The Spy Who Loved Me, I didn't think much of this one from the bottle but once I started applying it oh boy do I love this polish.  It's a bright red packed with gold shimmer. I'm sure there are several dupes for it but it definitely impressed me.  Nice formula I used 2 coats.

 

 

OPI Die Another Day  

Die Another Day, a  pretty red shimmer.  The formula is nice and I used 2 coats.

 

 

OPI You Only Live Twice

You Only Live Twice, a luscious magenta pink with magenta pink and gold shimmer. It's very sparkly, I like this one alot too.  Great formula used 2 coats. 

 

 

OPI Tomorrow Never Dies 

Tomorrow Never Dies,  Another amazing one, my camera shot this incorrectly it's really a jewel tone royal purple with pink and blue shimmer in the mix.  The formula is great and I only needed 2 coats for full opacity. 

 

 

Overall, I think this is a great collection.  My absolutely wow favorites are: The Living Day Lights (over moonraker haven't tried it yet over the others in the collection) Live and Let Die, Skyfall,  The Spy Who Loved Me, You Only Live Twice and Tomorrow Never Dies. 

 

So what do you guys think?  Which ones are you getting?

 

The Skyfall Collection  is available now at professional salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for $8.50 each
